Unless your criteria for news quality are somehow related to popularity, ratings are irrelevant.
actually i would definitely tie quality to popularity, with an inverse relation.

news is treated like entertainment, so whoever has the best ratings is probably doing the worst job at actual journalism.

What does that even mean? Unqualified quips said from behind the scenes to belittle a legitimate issue here.

alright so i'll go ahead and post townhall.com, breitbart, or thinkprogress and alternet links to forums and maybe those will count as better journalism

and when i post links to things like stratfor and nightwatch which are amazing sources for affairs that directly affect the US everybody goes 'wtf never heard of it'

I totally think you should because it's not like your stances on politics aren't laughable enough already

nope.

according to that link, FOX was more than half opinion, CNN was less than half.

you cant even read your own links. for you it's just like "fox has more news than MSNBC SO....."

use half of your brain at least man fuck

Adlp, we're not saying fox news is the devil, we're saying that most publicized news coverage has bias and the three big news companies have a ton of it. Granted, each of them have pros and cons, but it says something when satirists report the news better that entire companies that devote all their time to do so.
